Knots and Crosses

This is a ghoulish type of mystery. A series of girls have been abducted in Edinburgh. It all revolves around John Rebus. Rebus is a no nonsense kind of guy. He drinks too much, smokes too much and seems to be on the outside looking in at the police department. His brother is a drug pusher and he doesn't even know? He was a member of the elite SAS and now he suffers from hallucinations. What do all these abductions have to do with him and his series of crank letters?

Favourite Character: John Rebus. He is simply an average man with problems. I love his imperfections.Least Favourite Character: Jim Stevens. He is a slime-ball reporter. I have never liked reporters and for me he epitomizes them. One who follows the stories he is given never thinking for himselfFavourite Part of the Book: The ending. I can't say more without spoiling itLeast Favourite part of the book: The affair with the lady he met at his brother's show. UGH What as missing: A little more explanation about the crank letters would have been nice

About Me

Thanks for visiting! I'm Lauren (Hoser) and have been blogging books since 2006 from Ontario, Canada. I shared this blog with my mom (AceofHearts) until 2013 when she lost her battle with cancer and now continue to carry on this blog in her memory.

My favourite types of books are ones that can't really be defined any better than general fiction. You'll see me reading a lot of mystery, historical fiction, and some non-fiction as well.
